Warriors : Red's Story (Book 1)

Book 1 : Red's Story

Prologue

Hi, I am Red, and I have the special ability to understand humans. As kits, we are taught that humans are called twolegs. Also, my humans gave me a marking on my chest. It kind of looks like a symbol. Humans call it "Tattoos." They watch what is called a "TV" while I sit on their lap. I'm not a fat cat like Cowboy. Me and him both have "college football marks "on our chest. All though I have no idea what that means, I like messing around with Cowboy. I have "Texas Tech" while he has "OSU". Humans could be so silly. Oh well, let's go to present day.

"Hey Reddy bear, want to play mate?" asks Cowboy, my fat brother.

"I am not playing squish the cat. NO!" I yell at him.

"Well don't you think you're so tough kit." Cowboy says as he sits on me, puffing the breath out of me, "If you could talk with twolegs, ask them to fetch me a fish."

I stumble trying to catch my breath. I hate Cowboy. I slap my paw at his face. He got knocked down and couldn't get up. I ran as fast as my four legs could carry me. Cowboy is really slow. I laugh at him while the two next door cats jump on me.

I found myself in the forest. There was the other cat that always got beat up, Rice. Rice is a blue tabby kitten, and to be honest, is more of brother then Cowboy will ever be. I think it's because I'm more of the older one. I am 6 moons old, and Rice is 4 moons. Cowboy is 10 moons old and is so fat, you could see his belly touch the ground while he walks. Humans say that he is 40 pounds, and I am 10. That is not healthy apparently.

"Rice, what are you doing here?" I ask. Rice is always the frightened one, so I don't blame him if he gets scared once in a while.

"WAHH!" Rice yells. "Oh Red, it's just you. How it like in Mice and toed a?" Rice is very smart, don't get me wrong. But he just doesn't remember the name of the "state", or area, that humans created.

"It's Minnesota..." I mumble. "Oh, sorry" Rice says. "I'm going to the clan cats." My heart stopped beating. Rice was the best friend I had, and I knew that the clan cats would eat him before he could murmur out an introduction.

"Are you sure Rice?" I say. I'm not leaving without him. So if he really wants to live with clan cats, I'm going with him. "Yes, I'm tired of Baylor and Frog beating me up!" He yells.

"Well, I'll go with you." I say. "Really? Thanks!" Rice exclaims. "See you tomorrow at sun high." I watch as Rice turns away to go to his human nest. I go into my nest and walk into the white bed I sleep in. My humans come and watch "College football" with me and I watch because, why the heck not? It's my last day with them. I should probably spend time with them, before leaving.

Chapter 1

            I wake up, trying my best not to wake Cowboy. I walked slowly and stealthily as I headed for the door. I saw the humans lay out food from the bottom of the steps. Oh no, I think to myself, if the humans scream out me and Cowboys name, I'm done for.

Also, here are the cats that live in the neighborhood humans call Minnesota:

On the first 2 nests are: Me, Cowboy, Rice, Baylor, and Frog

On the last 2 nets are: Kansas, Longhorn, Wild, and Sooner.

So, now you know.

"RED! COWBOY! FOOD!" yell the humans. I ran for my life, leaping down the stairs. I then ran so fast outside I ran into a fence. Cowboy walked after me. But since my humans' yard is so big, I had lots of space to run. I looked at Cowboy. All he did was walk to eat, his food and my food. Then he fell asleep.
